The Web of Human Lives

     Seemingly random acts fill our world. "That there are no random acts . That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind," a quote spoken by the Blue Man, has many meanings. The meaning I see hidden in this is that we see acts of many different kinds taking place all around us, but we must understand that those particular actions are part of something grander than we can imagine. One person lives, and one person dies for reasons we cannot begin to understand. One person must live because he or she has not learned or encountered everything that they need to. The other dies because they have encountered everything needed for them to learn the things they need to in heaven.
     Sometimes we never see or meet the people that are intricately weaved into our life. Sometimes they happen to be the very cause of our important life events. Everything is planned for us, well before it ever happens. A breeze is part of the wind, just like a human's life is part of all the human lives in the world. Every person's decision greatly affects another's. Every act that a person does would not have happened if someone had made a different decision just a few minutes earlier.
     If someone went back in time and said the wrong thing at the wrong time, when they came back to the present there might be a completely different set of people in the world, or even the time traveler might not have even been born. This goes to show that every decision, every action, every feeling, and every commitment affects how every life will be lived. What is seen as a random action is vital to the grand scheme of humankind.
